NYTF2012: Tamashii Nations: Chogokin

In the US, Tamashii Nations product is distributed by a company called Bluefin Distribution. Bluefin supplies Tamashii Goods to the stores in the states that carry the products. We're going to talk about many of the Tamashii Lines, but lets start with the Chogokin lines.

Soul of Chogokin

Bandai reps were tight lipped about future SOC releases. They did say this to me: "Bandai would like NOTHING MORE than to make a Soul of Chogokin Go Lion and Dairugger". Does that mean they are in the works? Hard to say, with Mattel currently holding the Voltron license. If enough fans demand it, who knows what will happen? Look for polls here on CDX soon to be able to make your voice heard. Recent SHF toys have been greenlit on the strength of the American fan vote.

Daiohja

The Diaohja on display was a prototype, not a finished product, so we were unable to handle it. It looks great up close.

Super Robot Chogokin

Nothing new on display, but the GGG and ChoRyuJin look great.

Chogokin

I got to handle the Chogokin Franky release from One Peice. It's a nice toy with lots of gimmicks, but I'm just not a fan of the character.
